Pantheon season 1 is being added to Netflix tomorrow, but season 2 is not (and might never be). Both seasons are on Prime Video but it is region-locked, though I'm not sure which regions it is available in.

Pantheon is a fantastic sci-fi show with really smart themes that has been completely screwed over by streaming services. The writing is incredible and contains some very intelligent satire and critiques of big tech corporations, and even dips its toes into geopolitics (not even kidding, the Israel-Palestine conflict becomes a plot point in season 2, and this was written prior to Oct. 7).

If you want to watch the series in its entirety then piracy is a must for the vast majority. Needless to say, I highly recommend watching.

Excellent show overall. Season one was riveting, but season two felt rushed.

Would you say it's worth watching for someone who hates cancelled/rushed TV series?

Very much worth a watch, this show is pretty unique. It does complete its story arcs, so you will not get frustrated by that if that is your worry.

I agree that season 1 is far more engaging but imo, that's mainly because the level of intrigue that I felt at the beginning of the story was insane — they were great at keeping that intrigue rolling in an interesting way. But that kind of mystery can only last so long, because it grows weaker as the audience learns more about the characters and world.

I think there was a part of me that felt disappointed by season 2 simply by the fact it couldn't give me what I felt during season 1, and actually, I wouldn't want that — the final episodes of a series shouldn't have the same kind of tension of the beginning of the story.

Overall, I'd say that season 1 is excellent (in particular, there were some visually impressive and stylish sequenced that I loved) — Riveting" was the word OP used. Season 2 is also decent. I don't recall it feeling rushed, and it does end decently.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply! Based on what the two of you have said, I think I'll check it out. I am mostly looking to avoid a repeat of The Man in the High Castle, which was one of the biggest wastes of time I've been unfortunate enough to sit through. The final season was so clearly rushed due to an impending cancellation and it was one of these shows where everything hinges on the final season, which just made the entire thing pointless when they were unable to stick the landing.
